Great line up. Any dealer in Wisconsin?
Jeesh, more chinese bikes. And the prices aren’t any less than what a real bike would sell for. (Honda Rebel 300 MSRP $4599.) — No Thanks.
Not bad looking, the V302C, would make a good newbie bike. I like the tires, something different with that tread pattern.
